{"title":"Effect of Curcuma longa supplementation in post-weaning lambs\u0000ration on performance, carcass and meat quality","authors":"K. Sultan","doi":"10.22358/jafs/149003/2022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22358/jafs/149003/2022","url":null,"abstract":". The current study aimed to examine the effects of Curcuma longa (CL) addition to the post-weaning lambs ration on production efficiency and carcass quality. Twenty-eight post-weaning (12–14 week old) Awassi male lambs were randomly divided into four groups of seven lambs each, with the first (T1) group fed a standard ration, and the second (T2), third (T3), and fourth (T4) group fed standard rations supplemented with 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg CL powder, respectively. Treatment lasted 12 weeks. Data analysis revealed that CL supplementation improved ( P ≤ 0.05) overall body weight gain, daily body weight gain, slaughter weight, and hot and cold carcass weight compared to control. In addition, CL-treated (200 and 300 mg/kg doses) animals showed significantly increased empty body weight, dressing %, broad tail fat, and rib eye area in comparison to the control group. Regarding the physical dissection of three ribs, CL significantly enhanced three rib weight and lean % in T3 and T4 compared to other treatments. Bone percentage decreased significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) in T2 and T3, while fat percentage increased significantly in T2 and T3 compared to other treatments. In conclusion, supplementation of post-weaning lamb ration with 300 mg CL improved production traits and meat quality, as well as increased carcass weight, dressing percentage, and lean %. In addition, the fat metabolic pathway in the animal’s body was diverted towards the broad tail, leading to the production of carcasses with a minimal amount of fat desired by consumers.","PeriodicalId":14919,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48424513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of pelleted feeding on the growth and performance of small ruminants using a meta-analysis. The database was developed based on 29 studies containing 54 experiments. The data were analysed using the OpenMEE software, considering differences in pelleted feeding as fixed effects and individual studies as random effects. The results showed that the pelleted feed form enhanced dry matter intake ( P < 0.05) and increased average daily gain of small ruminants ( P < 0.05) as compared to the unpelleted form. Digestion of dry matter, organic matter and fiber was significantly lower for the pellet feed form ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, pelleted feed can improve production performance of small ruminants, but it reduces nutrient digestibility.","PeriodicalId":14919,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43279443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was divided into 2 phases (Grower and Finisher) in a 16-week trial. A total of 120 [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] growing pigs (BW; 22.02 ± 0.08 kg) were randomly assigned to control (CON) and treatment diets (TRT): CON – basal diet, DDGS 4% for growing pigs and 6% for finishing pigs; TRT1 – DDGS 10% for growing pigs and 12% for finishing pigs and TRT2 – DDGS 15% for growing and finishing pigs. Increasing dietary DDGS supplementation did not cause significant linear or quadratic responses in average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Furthermore, DDGS inclusion did not result in linear or quadratic effects on the digestibility of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), and digestible energy (E). Backfat thickness (BFT) tended to decrease (quadratic, P = 0.057) at week 16, whereas lean meat percentage (LMP) was unaffected by increasing DDGS levels in the diets. Thus, the addition of increasing DDGS levels (4–15%) to the basal diet showed no adverse effect on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and positively affected carcass quality of growing-finishing pigs, suggesting that DDGS (4–15%) inclusion exerted comparable effects to soybean meal, i.e. the main source of protein, thereby reducing feed cost.","PeriodicalId":14919,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43286077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was previously demonstrated that supplementation with a mixture of xylanase and cellulase enhanced performance and nutrient digestibility in steers (Gómez-Vázquez et al., 2011) or cows (Yang et al., 2000). However, other researchers observed that average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were unchanged with supplementing xylanase and cellulase mixture (Krueger et al., 2008). The divergent responses should be related to the differences in activities and formulations of enzymes used in these studies. Eun et al. (2007) demonstrated that the optimum dose proportions and activities of supplied FE were critical for the magnitude of the improvement in forage utilization. The factors limiting the digestion of dietary fibre by rumen microbes were some plant cell wall ABSTRACT. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influences of fibrolytic enzymes mixture (FEM) – a mixture of cellulase, xylanase, pectinase and laccase – on nutrient digestion and ruminal fermentation in bulls. Eight Holstein bulls fitted with rumen cannula were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design and allocated to four treatment groups: control, low-FEM (LFEM), medium-FEM (MFEM) and high-FEM (HFEM) with 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 g/kg FEM, respectively. Even though the addition of FEM had a positive linear impact on dry matter (DM) intake and average daily gain, it had no influence on feed conversion ratio. Supplemented FEM linearly promoted nutrients total-tract digestibility, reaching greater values at 0.50 and 0.75 g FEM/kg DM. Rumen pH value and the ratio of acetate to propionate were reduced linearly, the concentration of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) elevated linearly but the content of ammonia-N was not influenced with increasing dose of FEM. For corn silage rumen degradation, effective degradability (ED) of DM and organic matter were quadratically reduced, reaching greater values in MFEM, whereas ED of neutral detergent fibre was linearly elevated. Supplemented FEM linearly increased activities of cellulolytic enzymes, α-amylase and protease and populations of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus albus, Prevotella ruminicola, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens and Ruminobacter amylophilus, but had no impact on populations of methanogens and Ruminococcus flavefaciens. Supplemented FEM linearly increased urinary total purine derivative excretion. So, it was indicated that FEM enhanced nutrient digestibility and total VFA production, the optimum dose was 0.50 g/kg DM in bull diets.
